Short-range floor crunch

In this curl only the upper back peels off the mat. The pelvis stays heavy, so the distance your hands travel is small.

Technique

  1. Bend your knees and reach both hands towards your thighs.
  2. Breathe out as your fingertips slide towards the knees. Set your shoulder blades back down quietly.

Common mistakes

  • Trying to reach your kneecaps can turn the curl into a sit-up. Stop when your shoulder blades clear the mat.
